What makes this [Powell's] articulate reply to the court so effective, in addition to the declared truth within it, is how it is written to both Judge Emmet Sullivan and the public. This is a motion deserving of a read by anyone who has followed the travesty of the Flynn inquisition in detail or in summary. Do not cheat yourself out of the enjoyment; read it.

Every page is filled with articulate facts and sound legal justification that deconstruct the position of an ethically challenged prosecution. However, this footnote is particularly cogent in outlining the question everyone, including Judge Sullivan, holds in the back of their mind.
The defense team notes the profound conflict of interest that was carried by Mr. Flynn's original defense team during their interview sessions prior to the plea agreement; and the defense appropriately puts that defense conflict into context amid the pressure simultaneously being applied by the government.
The sur-surreply is truly a great read and this motion presents Judge Sullivan with information that not only supports the original Motion to Compel, but also provides important context for how this abusive case metastasized within a special counsel who was purposed on a precondition that targeting Michael Flynn was a priority.
For the prosecution in this case, the continuation of the Brady process to discover the background information/evidence might just be a worse option than withdrawing the charges.
All of us are in danger."What happens to Julian Assange and to Chelsea Manning is meant to intimidate us, to frighten us into silence. By defending Julian Assange, we defend our most sacred rights. Speak up now or wake up one morning to the silence of a new kind of tyranny. The choice is ours." — John Pilger, investigative journalist
